To lead is to act in such a way that motivates others to perform above and beyond their normal will. You will be successful when you lead. 'Todd Maki and Associates' can gaurentee it.

Life's Vacation.

So we present our most valuable and durable goods to market to find that nobody wants to buy.

The first thing that goes through our heads is "what did 'I' do?"

This is the greatest thing to understand because it is focused around you... or 'I'.

In order for your business to succeed you need to focus mostly on those around you and less on your own importance.

Albert Einstein knows why we exist, do you?

"Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others; it is the only means" - Albert Einstein

"If Einstein is right, our attitude is to really focus on setting an example for others and then it will be a good influence all over eternity and back." - Todd Maki

Reality Leads


All to often we get wrapped up in our dreams but fail to examine our true self and personal image. It is very important to recognize where we are in our lives and look at reality. If we cannot see for ourselves clearly where we are in regards to our personal self image, then we must ask someone we trust. But even that can be a false reality because not everyone wants to be completely honest for reasons that may offend or hurt the feelings of a friend.

Reality is the dark (invisible) horse that carrys us to our present day. Dreams uplift our attitude so we can continue moving in a positive direction. Our dreams can get faded and our reality can get jaded, ok; but when you can really see for yourself who you are and look into a mirror to see the unique person...you can actually begin to make positive changes for the better.

Some say they are realists, I say I am an optimist. Also, I know at times I can be pessimistic but it all depends on our own personal present reality. How we determine to see others and see the world really does impact our attitudes that shape our faith in certain outcomes. As an optimist, I have to recognize who I am, what I am doing, where I must go to get to where I want to be. Sure, I am looking at life realistically and I also need to feel positive about it in order for there to be positive outcomes.

Where do you stand today? Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself about who you are. Where am I going in life? Do I belong here or should I move on? How can I really be that person I want to be? These are some personal questions to ask yourself in the mirror. "At a hotel in Europe there is a sign in the mirror on the door inside the employee break room which reads: Take a good look at yourself. This is what the customers sees." - Maxwell (Winning with People)

Thank your for reading to the end. It tells me a lot about you. You are determined to get ahead in life. You desire a positive change for the better. You also desire to make others lives better. Take Care and God Bless. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Business Bound

Do you want to be your own boss? Create Unlimited Cash-flow? Not have others tell you when to work? Then I have the answer for you... become an entrepreneur. Only then can you have the true freedom that this great country was founded upon. 200 years ago... we were a nation of entrepreneurs; now we are a nation of employees.

Where and when did the big switch take place???

Now it is easier then ever to become an entrepreneur with the Internet opening up doors like never before.

If you become a business owner not only will it benefit you but others and the country by:
  1. providing jobs to those less established
  2. providing a steady form of income to others
  3. providing a product that can benefit others lives
  4. providing a better future depending on the product
  5. helping the economy keep rolling strong in a global economy
  6. giving a sense of security those risk averse
  7. allowing the free market to succeed unhindered
  8. and keeping the government happy by ensuring a low unemployment rate.
Now is the time to learn how to be a business owner.
